HENDERSONVILLE — Peggy Rector Stroupe, 86, of Hendersonville died Friday, December 27, 2013, at the Laurels of Hendersonville, N.C., after an extensive battle with Alzheimer’s.

She was an active member of The First Baptist Church of Stanley where she and her late husband worked with Sunday school and youth organizations, and where they founded a puppet ministry.
